Having enjoyed the improvisational piecing of the blocks for Louise on the weekend, I have continued the theme with some impromptu piecing, using the fabrics from Sunday Stash as well as a new print from Moda Fabrics by Sweetwater.

The new Moda fabric collection is called Authentic. My favorite print in the range is called "In the News" which has lengthy dictionary definitions of words like "real", "original" and "simple". Accordingly I have kept the piecing simple but have used many fabrics of interest to create this original design.

I am really enjoying this process, and love watching the pieces come together like a jigsaw puzzle. I am also getting better at incorporating some of the new fabrics from my growing stash of cute Japanese fabrics. These fabrics are quaintly detailed and add so much interest to the quilt.

I am hoping to finish this little quilt top today, and even make a start on the backing! That's the plan anyway.

This is the first I've seen of these new MODA fabrics - thanks for sharing photos on your blog - Love the colors! and that dictionary fabric is very cooooool! :) Can't wait to see the overall photo of the quilt you are making.
